I have really enjoyed the product and have raved to friends and family about it. Now after one and a half years of careful use, the screen has failed. I have contacted customer service. They offer no repair service. They say that the only option for screen failure is to replace the device with a refurbished one for $99. There is a 3 to 4 week wait for my first generation model to be replaced since this item is no longer produced for retail. So I can’t read my e-reader until then. I was not expecting this response from Amazon. Considering the cost of the device, one would think they would do more to help the customer. On reading online posts on the topic, I find that many people have had the same problem. This device and the new model seem to have screen failure issues. It is a little fragile for its purpose. I say this because my device was not mishandled for this malfunction to occur. I think an e-reader should last more than a year and a half before it conks out. For it to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly, it should definitely be more durable than that. Wait and do your research before you buy this. Also, share your experiences with screen failure if you own a kindle. It may help achieve better customer service options if Amazon.com realizes this to be a common issue that loyal customers would like to see addressed.
